On a different topic, what are you're predictions on what the next chapter is going to be about. While, I would like it, if Moka's and Tsukune's reunion occured in the net chapter, it's probably too early for that - most likely Tsukune is going to have a fight with a pretty strong opponent - if I have too guess, it's going to be Miyabi or Kahula, while, at the same time as Tsukune's battle, Gin, Haiji, Kokoa and Ling - Ling are going to infiltrate Fairy Tale's HQ as well, forcing Gyokuro to split her forces...

Yes, I'd say there's going to be 2-3 boss battles, along with grunt fights, before the reunion happens. I'm predicting in the next chapter, Tsukune goes one-on-one with Miyabe, and though he wins, he's immediately confronted by Kahlua. I'm hoping he doesn't have to fight her as well, or else he'll be too worn out for the big showdown with Akuha, which will probably happen in chapter 45 or so, while the B Team is invading. I hope Fuhai is with them, no one else has a chance of defeating Gyokuro. But we'll find out soon enough. Until then...

Hokuto? Then what were Miyabi and Gyokuro's daughter doing there? I'd have guessed that they were the ones behind the eggs? It may not have to do with Alucard but I'm pretty sure those things would be equally dangerous. Even if they're not connected to him, the fact remains that those eggs are draining the power that keeps the barrier that stop humans from seeing the youkai territories. If those barriers are completely destroyed and humans discover the existence of Youkai, it would mean war. Someone mentioned it in an earlier chapter tho I can't remember which one, but the results would be disastruous nonetheless. Putting Alucard into the mix will just make things worse for humans.

Miyabi and Kiria are on good terms, hes probably secretly working with Hokuto and Kiria and the 1st Division, but from the impression i'm getting from Miyabi, he doesn't really seem to care much for whats going on, as for Kahlua, i can't really say which side she is on, though she greatly worries for Moka's safety and is trained to follow orders as an assasin, but shes definitely a future ally of Tsukune's side, her love for Moka will allow her to switch sides, no doubts there.

Being completely honest, whilst there are acts of kindness, works of art etc humanity as a whole isn't exactly that likable at times, and we can be extremely xenophobic even amongst ourselves let alone what we would likely be like against sentient monsters.

They probably dont have many reasons to like us lol

IIRC the hate stemmed from humanity being the dominating race. Remember it was said that man once knew of Ayashi's existence, but it lead to continual blood shed, so apparently at some point the ayashi lost the greater struggle and become nothing more than "legend"

On a different topic, what are you're predictions on what the next chapter is going to be about.

OK, time to turn on my brain (and probably guess wrong ).

Spoiler for For my memory, recap of the last chapter:

At the end of the current chapter, Tsukune, Hokuto, Kurumu, Mizore, Fan-Fan, Yukari and Ruby are searching for Moka, who is sealed in a circle in what looks like a trance. This leaves Gin, Haiji, Ling-Ling, Koko, and anybody else the author wants to throw in as part of the second group. Gyokuro is searching for them using her vampire senses (and finding them too, drat it). Miyabi and Aqua have been shown to be currently in the Floating City, but have yet to make an appearance before our heroes. Kalua has yet to be seen in this arc, but I presume she is around to cause trouble, too. Kiria is a wild card, and has been since Season One. Don't know what he will do...

Prediction One: Tsukune actually sensed Gyokuro when the others couldn't (yet). I am thinking that there might be some way of cancelling out her ability, especially if she is amplifying it in a similar way to what a bat would do (similar to what Sun did in the Syren arc). giggle To see her face when she couldn't use her powers like she was used to doing... that would make my day, and give Group A at least a little help...

Prediction Two: This manga just went back into Action mode. Finally. There will be fighting. Carnage everywhere. Those pretty Fairy Tale Uniforms will get BLOODY. Or dirty. Or both. Tsukune has done his showing off, time for the girls to do so. If they actually make it to Moka, you won't see her until the last page - getting her out of that seal will be the work of another chapter.

Prediction Three: If, by some insane reason, the mangaka decides that Moka needs to be gotten out ASAP, Kurumu and Tsukune will go through the barrier, but Moka will be unable to wake up! Again! But Kurumu won't be the one reviving her this time, Tsukune is - I do believe it was established in Season One that Moka could go about one month between feedings - the poor girl is FAMISHED and need some B-juice to wake up! OK, maybe I'm just going fan-girl on this one, but the possibility just stays in my imagination.

Prediction Four: You probably won't see Group B, except maybe on the last page or two - it isn't the right time for them to show up.

It is a kickass job done. Not sure what's up with the eyes though, since they're the same color as the one colored page in the same chapter. Maybe it's just a thing Ikeda did just for that one page and people are running with the idea...

If I didn't know anything about R&V I would guess the pic is from an anime. Damn shame it isn't...

I'm glad that the coloring of Tsukune in 43 was done by Ikeda himself, now we get to see and know what the new and improved Tsukune looks like now, instead of just some fan artwork, but don't get me wrong, fans out there do some damn good artwork for manga and anime.

But the two different colored eyes is not something i would choose, but at the same time i have nothing against it nor do i really mind it, but it's interesting though.

I also like the change in hair color as well, both his brown hair and brown eyes needed a change considering all that he has been through, shedding blood, sweat and tears to get where he is today.

If there's no special occation or announced break, the raw might be out sometimes around the first to two weeks of August. The scanlation depends as usual on how much time + how fast the scanlators gets their hq raw, etc .

Since I have time until end of August, I may as well do my summary-script until the real deal is out. Even though it's a tiresome task for me ...

@colored art: I was surprised that it was an offical art. I didn't really except Tsukune to have bi-polar eyes. I assume they are a "byproduct" from the ritual or maybe even the ghoulization. He really has the appearance of an high-ranking military man.
